With the combination of hot and cold process area in one company, GEA Brewery Systems is a globally unique competence center for breweries. At drinktec we will be presenting our extensive know-how and vast engineering experience in the manufacture of equipment for the brewing and beverage industry: hall A4, stand 314.

CRAFT-STAR™ – The GEA craft brewing solution for artisan craft brewers. For the first time the new Huppmann brewhouse CRAFT-STAR™ for artisan craft breweries will be presented. GEA Brewery Systems exhibits the skid-mounted brew system in 2-vessel configuration with mash/lauter tun and Whirlpool/wort kettle, designed for a flexible batch size from 20 to 35 bbl (25 to 40 hl) hot wort and ready for single-step infusion mashing. The result is an efficient, high-quality brewing system offering everything you need – No frills, just great brews!

On the way to continuous brewing – The future? Continuous production processes are still very attractive for the brewing industry. Small product flow rates result in constant small loads on boiler house and electrical system. Combined heat & power plants including solar heat are easy to integrate. Reducing malt throw and increasing brewhouse capacity to 36 brews per day leads to peak reductions by 75 %. Advanced wort boiling technologies allow evaporation rates down to 1 % and, together with small motors for pumps and drives, contribute to energy savings. GEA Brewery Systems demonstrates project solutions with a daily capacity of 14,000 hl and the potential of continuous wort production. Engineering experts and sales managers will be available at our stand to give competent advice. We look forward to your visit.
